Latent Semantic Indexing. All of the Search Engines have invested in this technology and if they are not using it now, they will be soon.
The definition for LSI is as follows:
Latent semantic analysis (LSA) is a technique in natural language processing, in particular in vectorial semantics, patented in 1988 [1] by Scott Deerwester, Susan Dumais, George Furnas, Richard Harshman, Thomas Landauer, Karen Lochbaum and Lynn Streeter. In the context of its application to information retrieval, it is sometimes called latent semantic indexing (LSI) - http://www.cs.utk.edu/~lsi/

If you want to use the traditional style Adsense on your blogs, and have more power over ad format, there is an Adsense-Deluxe Wordpress Plugin (updated for Wordpress 2) for use with Adsense or Yahoo ads.

All settings configured through WordPress Options interface (no knowledge of plugins or PHP required)
Easily test different ad formats and color styles across (all, or) a range of blog posts.
(Optionally) Apply CSS formatting to the AdSense code.

In addition to monetizing your own blog with advertising spots, paid reviews, affiliate marketing, etc., there are many opportunities on the Net for getting paid to blog.
ProBlogger has a list of blogging opportunities on it’s site.
Sign up at Helium. “Where publishers and freelancers meet.” At Helium’s Marketplace, publishers post the titles they need articles for right now. Publishers are paying from $20 to $200 for each selected article.
B5 Media. They normally post their job openings for bloggers at ProBlogger.
Here are some real money-making products, paying some of the highest commissions in affiliate marketing available. Typically, I make $100 to #300 commissions from these products. I just made $175 commission from their newest product. Why make $20-$30 per sale selling ebooks on Clickbank when you can make hundreds per sale? Joe Bucks gives hundreds of top converting products to sell and free branded websites for many of their products. The branded websites are a real time-saver. You can literally have a full-blown website up and running within 30 minutes with no design or html experience. All you need is a domain name and a hosting account. You can get free hosting at The Red Host
MoreNiche is another company with very high paying commissions and I have done very well with their products.In addition to these, I also sell products and services from Commission Junction, Linkshare, ROI Rocket, Adzoogleads, and Max Bounty. Personally, I don’t like selling informational ebooks. I find selling products to be much easier and a lot more profitable. In addition, there’s what I consider a huge problem with Clickbank. Spybot Search and Destroy and some other anti-spyware programs strip out your Clickbank tracking cookies, so you could send tons of traffic to Clickbank products and never get credited for the sales you make. Spybot Search and Destroy is widely distributed, so the problem is massive. Webroot Spy Sweeper is another anti-spyware program that strips out Clickbank cookies, and I am sure there are more.
A friend in a forum that I’m a member of ran across This article by DotSauce with at least 55 active RSS directories that accept your RSS Feed link. I spent a relatively small amount of time submitting this blog to all of them and have noted a big increase in traffic pretty much immediately. If you’re into domaining, DotSauce is a great online resource in addition to the very useful RSS Feed list that he posted.
Here’s another list I found of directories to submit your blog to and in some cases, your RSS Feed. Some of them are redundant, but some are new.
